Another Sherbet bag – “Walk in the Park”

Here is the latest incarnation of Melly and me’s Sherbet bag pattern.

Freya's Walk in the Park bag

The fabric is Michael Miller’s “Walk in the Park”, with a floral poplin that I think I bought from Spotlight last year some time . . . this bag went to cousin Freya.  With spring coming up soon, I thought that it would be appropriate!  Here’s a photo of the inside:

The lining fabric is also from Spotlight (recognise it from the fairy bags?) and I added inside pockets out of the floral, and a magnetic snap closure.

It is quite fortunate that I made Freya a new bag – as she just found out the hard way that bags made from vintage curtains don’t wash well in the machine … we are now trying to figure out how to repair the disintegrated areas … it’s a good thing that I can make her another one if necessary (maybe from a reproduction print though)!
